![]() ![]() With incisive yet gentle wisdom, Allender opens the aperture beyond Mars Hill to discuss how trauma creates wounds on which narcissism thrives, how the numbness of anger can lead to isolation, and how the very real joy of spiritual connection can leave hurting people confused and ashamed after the structures they've trusted crumble. Thirty years later, Allender joins host Mike Cosper for an honest conversation about where that narcissism led and how Mars Hill Church and the city of Seattle suffered under its dogmatism. Narcissism would keep the two from building on a common foundation. While conversations remained cordial, it didn't take long for Allender to realize he and Mark aimed to build entirely different institutions - Allender, a school for healing and trauma care, and Mark, a faith community with the aspirations of Babel. When author and therapist Dan Allender met Mark Driscoll in 1998, he hoped the two might share building space for their respective ministries.
